Hey, which engine you think it's better to use where I live? (Lot's of hills!)
1.2 8v or 1.2 16v?
Thanks!

Twisty definitely, thanks!

Probably the 8v..

As you will get frustrated waiting for the 16v to 'get on the cam'..same with a turbo.

Oh really? I thought that the 16v would perform better because of the increased horsepower...

Only more powerful at higher revs..

On twisty hills it may be worse than 8v

Oh noted, thanks. And 60hp will be enough to fight the inclination?

Why don't you get a JTD/Multijet?

Personal preference. I don't like diesel engines.

Try one out, they don't feel like diesel engines at all
